Big Time

Our game Friday was a nail biter...... We played the worst game of our season. The weather was not on our side but God was...... We prayed for a Victory and Heathly players and that is what he gave us.

We live in a small town so we have a small once a week paper but the closest "big" city to us was at the game and this was in Sunday's sports section.

Was he excited or what? His picture was the only one printed from our game. Proud moment at our house tonight.

Someone at church tonight told me it was in there and I had to go all over town at 8pm to find a paper. But I got it.

another win for the cats.

Final Score.........

Kirbyville Wildcats 28

Arp Tigers 26

Quarter Finals...... Up Next is Semi-finals for 2A- Division I

Next week this mom needs some nerve pills

to get through the game.

pains, turkey and some football......

Well our week started out on Sunday getting ready to go to Church, planning for a blessed time. Chris has been having a messed up stomach for about 3.5 weeks and then a horrible pain hit. Trying to get him to the car to go to the hospital, he hit the floor and could not get up. A little freaked out by all that was happening and knowing he needed to get to the hospital. Not sure if the pain was a result of his stomach being messed up or if something else was going on. I called 911.

Turns out he was trying to pass a kidney stone. I have never had one and don't care too now after seeing the pain he was in. Dr said it was probably a result of be dehydrated the last few weeks. It was a wild ride for the next day till that little booger came out. It was only 2mm. big but it sure caused alot of pain.

With a short week at school and work I was ready to get into the holiday. Thanksgiving is always good eating. I love all the fixings that go along with the Turkey. We had a house full of people at the In-laws. Very Thankful for our family.

And with the end of the week here it is time for football again. Dustin has been treating his ankle all week with big hopes he will get to start tonight. This is our biggest and toughest game yet this season. It will be a good one.

We are going early to insure a seat since most of all our 2400 pop. town will be there, along with others from nearby communities. I have been praying this week for all the players health and for a victory.
This is the Quarter finals, next week is Semi finals and the following week will be the State Championship. I am so excited for my son, our football team, cheerleaders, and our town.

GO CATS!

And as promised.......

Dustin injured on the sidelines......

Poor guy, it was pretty hard for him to sit there and not be on the field playing.

My Babies.....

Fireworks for our Area Champs

The team coming back into town last night.

Dustin's buddy helping a friend in need......

Thank you for your prayers for Dustin. He has a lower ankle sprain but should be healed for the game. The other 2 boys are okay too. One will be able to play again possibly this next week too, but the other is out for the rest of the playoffs.

Football, injuries and prayer

We played early this week.....
Last night we won 43-20 meaning we advance to the next round in the playoffs. We did have some injuries but that game was great.
Dustin, my son, who plays starting Center hurt his ankle in the 2nd quarter, another key player has a mild shoulder separation, and a defensive player might have tore his ACL in his knee.
The coaches and trainer are taking them all to the doctor today.
Please pray for them all to be minor injuries.
We had a line of fans welcoming the team back to town last night. They were escorted back in by the firetrucks and police. Lights and sirens. AND a firework show...... It was really cool.

I will get some pictures posted this weekend from the game.

thanks for praying

Thank you for all your prayers. Lane is well and my meeting went well. It was such an encouragement for me and another confirmation from God. This women is so sweet and a women who loves Jesus so much. She is a mighty servant also.
We visited for about an hour and it went as well as Lane would let it go. He wanted to be center of attention but all was well. She really adored him.

devils little schemes.....Not Going To Work

Today I had a lunch meeting scheduled with our area association women's ministry leader. It was going to be a great meeting. I had called her a while back to discuss my post abortive ministry with her and she wanted to meet in person to talk. She had a ribbon cutting this morning and needed to come to my town to go to the Area Office.
At 4:30 am I woke up to my 5 year old Lane puking in the doorway of my bedroom. And he continued to do so every 15 mins. til about 8:15 this morning.
I was praying for healing over him and that the devil would not get his way and me miss my meeting.
Well it is now 10 am and he has kept down his breakfast and is feeling better.
I called Virginia and she suggested the we wait and see how he feels. She is going to call me on her way to town and if he hasn't been sick anymore this morning we are just going to meet at the park. She has some information for me and I have some to give to her also.
Please pray for this meeting to go well and that the devil will not succeed at stopping it.

Wildcats are on fire.....

(Lauren is on far left in the air)

We won our first round of playoffs. Final score was 34-15. Now that we are in the state playoffs JV cheerleaders get to go cheer with Varsity. So I will get to pictures of Lauren cheering for Dustin.

The team got together at the end of the game for a picture with the District Championship trophy.

Christian One Liners

Don't let your worries get theBest of you; remember,

Moses startedOut as a basket case.

Some people are kind, polite, and
Sweet-spirited until you try to sit in their pews.

Many folks want to serve God,
But only as advisors.

It is easier to preach ten sermons
Than it is to live one.

The good Lord didn't create anything

Without a purpose, but mosquitoes come close.

When you get to your wit's end,
You'll find God lives there.

People are funny; they want the front
Of the bus, the middle of the road, and
The back of the church.

Opportunity may knock once, but temptation

Bangs on your front door forever.

Quit griping about your church;
If it was perfect, you couldn't belong.

If the church wants a better pastor,
It only needs to pray for the one it has.

God Himself does not propose to judge
A man until he is dead. So why should you?

Some minds are like concrete

Thoroughly mixed up and permanently set.

Peace starts with a smile.

I don't know why some people Change churches;

what difference does It make which one you stay home from?

A lot of church members who are singing
'Standing on the Promises'
Are just sitting on the premises.

We were called to be witnesses,
Not lawyers or judges.

Be ye fishers of men. You catch
Them - He'll clean them.

Coincidence is when God
Chooses to remain anonymous.

Don't put a question mark
Where God put a period.

Don't wait for 6 strong men
To take you to church.

Forbidden fruits create many jams.

God doesn't call the qualified,
He qualifies the called.

God grades on the cross, not the curve.

God loves everyone, but probably prefers'

fruits of the spirit' over 'religious nuts!'

God promises a safe landing,
Not a calm passage.

He who angers you, controls you!

If God is your Co-pilot - swap seats!

Prayer: Don't give God instructions -- just report for duty!

The task ahead of us is never as

Great as the Power behind us.

The Will of God never takes you to

Where the Grace of God will not protect you.

We don't change the message,
The message changes us.

You can tell how big a person is
By what it takes to discourage him.

Waiting on the mail

While I am waiting on this to come in the mail, I am praying about a meeting with my Pastor and his wife on Wed. evening. I am excited about what God has been showing me these last few weeks on this ministy.

I was one of five lucky winners of the Surrendering the Secret leaders kit from Pat Layton. It is in the mail on it's way to me. I am already praying for the women whom this tool will touch and heal.
I would like to ask for prayer for me when I meet with my pastor tomorrow evening about 7 pm.
